To conduct our noise level tests, we replaced the graphics card in our system with a AMD Radeon HD 5550 Silence which was passively cooled. We also momentarily disconnected the fans on the CPU cooler so we were only taking into account the noise generated by the fans in the case.
This case is quiet, thanks to the low number of fans employed. Most enthusiasts will probably choose to install additional fans however to enhance cooling performance.

To me the idea of “reasonable” performance from a case priced at £130 is ridiculous. There are a lot of cases on the market for far less than that with far more features and better build quality. The lack of 240mm rad support is something which shouldnt be overlooked nowadays when the CLC watercoolers from Corsair, NZXT and Antec are so commonly used. Even for an air-cooled build it’s easy to find better than this. They’ve priced themselves way out of the market in my opinion.
130 is nothing, lets get real here, High performance parts all drop a price around 100-150 pounds each.
PSU will set you back 100
GPU will set you back 300
CPU = 250
SSD = 130-150
So really why not invest in a High quality case? I am not saying by any means that this case is high quality “Solid and light ABS plastic construction.” I would not pay 130 for a plastic case.. if it was a Brushed Steel/Plastic/CarbonFiber design maybe.
The actual design looks good for airflow and would be more optimal for people using air cooling as a preference over Liquid cooling.
I will end this with a comment on the design, its interesting, different and looks very efficient but doesn’t look finished or polished at all. It will have to be extremely good for the price compared to Corsair/CoolerMaster designs which come out a bit cheaper but are un-interesting and standard looking (Professional style I would call it) nothing wrong with them just some prefer an alien or different type of look to make their pc stand out.
Overprice but still worth buying, a good option for air-cooling despite lack of air filters, flexible drive configuration apart from the fact that it actually isn’t, the list of contradictions here just keep mounting up. The last page just sound like your trying to polish a turd to give it an award it clearly doesn’t deserve.
